Ever Googled Your Symptoms Then Freaked Out?

We know you have--heck, I just did it yesterday. (The intertubes tried to tell me the little patches of bumpiness on my neck were Chickenpox, when really they're just a bad reaction to a new body wash.) Lucky for all of you symptom-Googlers out there, the New York Times' health peops put together a list of the best medical sites on the Web. Keep reading to get their list and see what we think of the sites.

Some of our favorite sites from the Times' list: * Web-MD (Our opinion? Fantastic except that the high-tech symptom-checker program is computer-crashingly slow) * Destination Rx (Great for finding cheaper prescriptions) * Mayo Clinic (incredibly solid, easy-to-understand info on just about every ailment and issue)
